Chapter 245
[And the result was exactly as he thought. Kabuto, who hid outside the window and listened to their conversation, voluntarily chose to go with Danzo and the others. ]
[In front of the orphanage, Yakushi Nono and a group of children watched Kabuto's back, looking reluctant: "Kabuto, why?"]
[Not wanting to worry everyone, Kabuto smiled and explained: "I am suitable to be a ninja, and I also want to study medical ninjutsu in depth."]
[But even a carefree person like Urusi can see that Danzo and the other two are not good people, so naturally he doesn't want Kabuto to go with them: "Kabuto! Are you going to give up the bond we have had for three years! Come back soon!"]
["Huh? Didn't they say that the director of the orphanage is an ace spy? You can't see that. What is Kabuto really thinking? ”]
[“They didn’t even notice Kabuto eavesdropping outside the window! This basic skill has been lost too completely!”]
[“Even if they knew, what can they do? Do they have the ability to resist!”]
[The overly mature Kabuto knew that they had no choice, and a fake smile appeared on his face. He looked at the clock hanging on the outer wall of the orphanage and said softly to the children in front of him with worried faces: “Have you all forgotten the rules of the orphanage? It’s time to go to bed.”]
[The next scene changes quickly, and Kabuto’s outfit is constantly changing. Kumogakure, Mistgakure, Sandgakure, and Iwagakure, Kabuto wanders around the villages in different identities to collect intelligence for Konoha. His outstanding talent makes him like a fish in water in spy work, but he is eventually exposed in Iwagakure and hunted by the enemy. ]
[Hiding between a narrow rock wall, Kabuto looked at the pocket watch in his hand with a nostalgic look: 'It's been five years since I left the orphanage... I really want to see the director and the others again...']
["I thought it was an ability that was only realized after training. Now it seems that Kabuto Yakushi is a natural spy. At least he has a considerable talent in hiding his emotions!"]
["What! Kabuto Yakushi has been an undercover agent in four other ninja villages?!"]
["Hey, hey! This is too good!"]
["Now everyone who is looking at the sky curtain, recall carefully, have you seen this person in the village!"]
["It's better if you don't say it. After what you said, I seem to have a vague impression!"]
["Me too. I felt that Kabuto Yakushi looked familiar when he first appeared on the sky. Now it seems that I must have met him once in the village!"]
["You other ninja villages are not good enough. Look at our Iwagakure. We found his trace right away!"]
["What's so good about this! Judging from the fact that he is still alive, you Iwagakure didn't do anything to him at all!"]
["The most amazing thing is that he could even sneak into Kirigakure. That closed country didn't even notice that there was an outsider!"]
In the meeting room of the Five Kages' meeting in the Hokage Building, the Kages looked at each other with different expressions, but none of them expressed dissatisfaction with Kabuto's actions.
After all, planting spies in other villages is one of the daily tasks of the village leaders. Even now, there are many of their undercovers lurking in Konoha.
[Suddenly, a kunai shot from above. Kabuto, who had been on guard, easily avoided the attack and even killed the enemy who rushed towards him with a chakra scalpel. 】
【At this time, the clouds covering the moon dispersed, and the moonlight allowed Kabuto to see the enemy's appearance clearly, but what he saw was a face he could never have imagined. 】
【'Dean! ' Kabuto's face changed drastically and he rushed to the pharmacist Nono, performing medical ninjutsu on her chest and abdomen that he had cut open: "How could this happen! Why are you here?"】
【While treating, Kabuto remembered what happened in the orphanage five years ago: 'Could it be that she is still carrying out the mission at that time? ’】
[“Hey! It’s a walking shrine maiden!”]
[“By the way, is your Iwagakure a public toilet? People can come whenever they want!”]
[“An undercover agent is surrounded, and your Iwagakure search speed is not as fast as that of people from other villages. Your ability and quality are worrying!”]
[“Damn! Don’t talk without any hesitation. Can these two people be classified as ordinary ninjas!”]
[“The next thing should be the reason for Kazuto’s change of heart... Could it be that he changed his mind because he was too seriously injured and couldn’t be saved?”]
[“Who are you... Why... Want to... Treat me...?” The pharmacist Nono, who was a little confused because of the serious injury, asked intermittently. Guessing that she might have lost her glasses, Kazuto quickly took off his glasses and put them on her face: “It’s me, Dean! I’m Kazuto! Don’t worry, I can definitely cure you!”]
[Unexpectedly, after seeing Kazuto’s face clearly, the pharmacist Nono asked in confusion: “You... areWho? "]
[The gentle words shocked Kabuto's heart instantly. He widened his eyes and became dazed. At the same time, the chakra in his hand slowly disappeared, and he froze in place.]
[Two Iwagakure ninjas quickly rushed over, but only found the medicine master Nono who had lost his breath.]
["Huh? Ha! Just because he didn't recognize who Kabuto was, he gave up on treatment?"]
["Maybe this matter is very important to Kabuto. Didn't he say before that he was nobody? If this is the idea he has had since he was a child, then it seems reasonable that even the most important people don't recognize him, and he would be mentally traumatized!"]
["This is a disease, a very serious mental illness! Can't you say anything after rescuing the person? Just watch her die like this?"]
["This mental state is too extreme!"]
["There seems to be something wrong here... Kabuto's appearance clearly shows the shadow of his childhood. How could the dean, who values children so much, not recognize him? ”]
[“She even attacked Kabuto!”]
[Beside a river, Kabuto frantically washed his hands, then looked at the blurred face on the river, revealing an expression of doubt about life: ‘Why doesn’t the dean remember me... Why? Why doesn’t she have any impression of me at all? Why? If even she doesn’t remember me, then what am I? What is everything the dean gave me? My name was given by the dean, she adopted me, and this pair of glasses is hers...’]
[Kabuto took off his glasses, looked at the more blurred figure in the water, and cried in his voice: “...Who is this...?”]
[“You seem to be unable to see your true self.” A hoarse voice suddenly came from the river, Kabuto quickly put on his glasses, and then saw Orochimaru coming out of the water: “You have become an excellent ninja... I remember everything, Kabuto.”]
